If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ll need to buy a new PC to run the new operating system.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Processor:<\/strong> 1 GHz or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor. (Microsoft provides a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows-hardware\/design\/minimum\/windows-processor-requirements\">list of compatible processors<\/a> on its website).<\/li>\n<li><strong>RAM:<\/strong> 4 gigabytes or more<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong> 64 GB or larger storage device (such as a hard drive or SSD)<\/li>\n<li><strong>System Firmware:<\/strong> UEFI and Secure Boot capable<\/li>\n<li><strong>TPM:<\/strong> Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (common on motherboards manufactured after 2016)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graphics Card:<\/strong> Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display:<\/strong> An HD display at least 720p (1280\u00d7720) resolution larger than 9\u2033 diagonal, 8-bits per color channel<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internet Connection and Microsoft Accounts:<\/strong> Windows 11 Home edition requires an internet connection and a Microsoft account to set up the device on first use.

Here\u2019s a look at each one.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Processor:<\/strong> Windows 10 supports 32-bit CPUs, while Windows 11 only supports 64-bit CPUs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RAM:<\/strong> Windows 10 requires 1 gigabyte of RAM, Windows 11 requires 4 gigabytes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong> Windows 10 32-bit and 64-bit only require 16 GB and 20 GB of storage, respectively. Windows 11 requires 64 GB.<\/li>\n<li><strong>System Firmware and TPM:<\/strong> Unlike Windows 11, Windows 10 does not require UEFI, Secure Boot, or TPM by default. Those are required only if you use features such as BitLocker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graphics Card:<\/strong> Windows 10 requires DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 support. Windows 11 ups that to DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display:<\/strong> Windows 10 only requires an 800\u00d7600 display, while Windows 11 requires 1280\u00d7720 or higher.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internet Connection:<\/strong> Windows 10 does not require an internet connection to set it up for first use, and it does not require a Microsoft account.
